and it shouldn't matter to us what brand someone else wants to bash.

Good for you.

True!

I have never had a Trek but I guess I need to add one to the stable of bicycles. Must be good stuff.

Toyota Corolla = reliable transportation at a cost affective price and economical on fuel, insurance, etc.

hmm

I guess Trek and Toyota have a lot in common.

I like Orbea and Rocky Mountain and of corse Fuji ��

You're probably right, though I worked in a Trek shop in the 90s before anyone knew Lance's name, and Trek was already the number one "bike shop brand" at the time. We were proud to offer Trek, as they were more innovative than many competitors of that era.

I actually just put in an order for my first Trek road bike. It's a gravel bike and about the only one that had what I wanted for a price I was willing to pay. I checked the catalogs of the brands sold by local shops here, and a Trek best fit what I wanted. Doesn't hurt at all that they have it in British Racing Green. I've owned Felt, Fuji, Raleigh, Ciocc (still do), and Specialized before. Trek is definitely one of the more ubiquitous brands.

They still are innovative. Especially in the Bontrager line of products.

I was actually looking for a 700,720,730 frame for a retro/modern hybrid build, but then I found my 91 Schwinn Crosscut frame.

Yes like, they both make some good cars/bikes, and they both make some terrible cars/bikes.

Whats the point of this topic?

The both begin with "T."

"Too much Trek"

It is in the title/subject line.

More of a statement or observation, than a question.

How about "too many pedestrians" or "too many cars"

Sounds like whining to me.

Bought my first Trek roadie in 1996 fit like a glove so I bought it. Before the Lance rush.

Bought another alum Trek in 2005. 3 years and 13,000 miles the frame cracked. Replaced no questions asked to a carbon/alum mix worth $1700. That frame also cracked at the alum section 13,000 miles later, again replaced no questions asked and again, free upgrade to the frame and fork of a $2200 full carbon Madone.

So yeah, on Trek before the Lance thing, still riding Trek and big reason is their warranty being an honest customer.

and then never stops , because it turns into whining about whining.

Or just an opportunity to run your post count up.

Too Much Trek = Not My Tempo

....now, were you rushing or were you dragging?

Yes, it is good for me, thank you.

Wow, I'm impressed--you're whining about whining about whining.

Why are there so many dead leaves on the ground? I like them when they're brightly colored or green on a tree, but they really get gross when they fall down, and sometimes they get stuck on the chainstays while I'm riding.

ya but are any made there?

Op wants one but won't admit it

He should get one... I really enjoy mine.

In before the Bike Lock!

I tried to buy an Orbea but the 2019s were sold out and the 2020s did not have an ETA. I tried to buy a Marin. No 2019s in my size and the 2020s were being built. I tried to buy for a month. Could not get either in my size. Went to a Trek dealer and bought a 2020 Marlin 6 in my size in the store and took it home. I had not considered a Trek until I could ride something in my size. Totally happy with it. My lbs told me last week that they still could not get the Marin I was looking at two months ago. I have been riding my Trek for five weeks now. I started on a used Specialized.

The Treks are just an illusion.
